LA RELACIÓN TODO-PARTES EN EL PARMÉNIDESA RELACIÓN TODO-PARTES EN EL PARMÉNIDES Y EL CONCEPTO DE UNIDAD UNA RECONSTRUCCIÓN PARCIAL DE LAS TRES PRIMERAS HIPÓTESIS*NA RECONSTRUCCIÓN PARCIAL DE LAS TRES PRIMERAS HIPÓTESIS* Fabián Mié CONICET Universidad Nacional de Córdoba Abstract: Plato’s Parmenides has motivated the greatest dissagrements between its traditional and modern interpreters. In this paper is not my first concern to develop a full interpretation of this dialog. Instead I am pursuing the strategy of explaining and attempting to solve some interpretative problems which have been raised by the predominance of the first hypothesis in the design of Plato’s philosophy. Trough a partial terminological reconstruction of the three first hypothesis – that are developed in the second section of the dialog – I will try to show that in the second hypothesis Plato outlines a concept of unity which represents some alternative points to the theoretical commitments, that are involved in the concept of unity of the first hypothesis. To make out this commitments I will try to point out that the first hypothesis is conceptually linked to the eleatic thesis on which Parmenides makes his best effort over the unripe theory of forms the younger Socrates is arguing for in the former section of the dialog. My general claim is to show that the dialog Parmenides presents some terminological outlines of a two-principles dialectic and to specify several of the relevant concepts arrising from such dialectic.: Plato’s Parmenides has motivated the greatest dissagrements between its traditional and modern interpreters.
